So, looks like it'll be a bit warm out there next weekend...

It would be nice if it were a bit less humid.  Temperature seems fine though.

So pretty much exactly like our first day of golf in Phoenix a few weeks ago.  Piece of cake! :)

I do have some health issues with the heat.  So with this heat I'll definitely be in a cart.. My cut-off for a cart is about 80 degrees.  Not sure if you all walk or ride.

Eagle Glen has some long treks between holes and I'm sure like most of the courses in the area, greens fees include the cart.  We're all riding. :beer:

I think these will be the groups. Do you guys want to do the points with the foursome like we normally do or switch it up and do twosomes? Like these guys did.

I really recommend doing it as twosomes if you have eight people. I think people at the one I hosted with @Rob Thompson liked doing it that way. We tried to balance the handicaps as best we could, too.

And I'd be up for trying twosomes as well.  4 teams is more of a competition than just two. :)

@Shindig 13.5 as of Oct 1 (trend index and club index are lower if you prefer).

 

My vote is for twosomes also.  Hopefully my partner won't have to carry me in the match this time (unlike a previous twosome outing).

 

Edit:  Anyone want to meet for breakfast before going to the course?

None in particular;  there's a Panera and a Corky's (I've never been to a Corky's, so I don't know how it is) not too far from the course.  If someone knows the area and can suggest some place, I have no attachment to my suggestions (I just saw them on Google Maps is all).

@Bechambo 0

@jefkve 24 * 134/113 * 80% =  23

@Ringworld 9.1 * 134/113 * 80% = 9

@tristanhilton85  9.4 * 134/113 * 80% = 9

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
